Wise County has the worst civil engineering in the State of Texas. Remember how many people died at the intersection of SH 114 and FM2123 before the untrained citizens told the local stupid TXDOT engineer that doing 55 mph in a eighteen wheeler loaded with rock on a curved downgrade with an intersection at the bottom of the hill was the reason people were dying. Maybe he enjoys the deaths.

There is another intersection that qualifies the Wise County TXDOT engineer for the stupid file. Entering Wise County on SH 114 traveling westbound a few miles east of Rhome the speed limit is increased to 70 mph. Within a few hundred feet of the speed limit increase there is a red light for traffic from a large subdivision turning onto SH 114? Who in the hell increases the speed limit just as traffic comes upon a red light? And where else in North Central Texas is there a red light in a 70 mph zone?
